The Ashes

[Josh1873]

Fact is we've been flying by the seat of our pants with an XI that contains at a push six test standard cricketers. We've done well to win as many games as we have with as many holes in our line up as there are.

Just wait until Root goes because then we truly are in the shit.

This. 6 is generous too.

We've got spaces up for grabs at 1, 3, 7 (keeper), 8, 9

Build around Duckett, Root, Brook, Stokes, Atkinson and Archer.

The pool of players isn't as bad as some will have you believe. It's certainly better than the pathetic performances we're being subjected to all too regularly under McCullum. 

The first step to take in getting England back to some level of respectability is to sack Key, and McCullum.
